Have a great summer guys!
Wha? You're going to lie down on the other ledge?
You will be missed. Hurry back.
My morning coffee will not be the same...
Looks like the old "Eagles Nest"
Maybe Crappy went off the wagon again and was court ordered to go to rehab.
:)
You'll be missed Crappy..
What'll I do now?
what guy?
Now what am I supposed to read when I sit on the crapper every morning?
Enjoy your vacation -- it's been richly earned.
Wasn't Eagles Nest a cab driver hangout under the Forest ave M station.
What a relief!
Gary A. said...
What a relief!
Ditto!
"What'll I do now?"
By the time the Crapper returns - the LIBERALS will RULE the blog!
Bwaaaaaaahaaaa!!!! . . .
Crappy, enjoy your much needed and deserved vacation. You have earned it. Just make sure you come back to us -- refreshed and ready with your shovel to dig up all the crap in Queens (Quite A Big Job).
It's STILL all about me!
LIBERALS will RULE the blog ?
Thats about all they may rule
It looks like all those bums and Congress are getting a biggest enema in history come November.
http://abcnews.go.com/WN/democrats-congressional-distance/story?id=11301899
Have a well deserved long rest and vacation Crappy
Enjoy your time off, Crapper. We'll see you when you get back.
come back oon
who will report on the crap?
""What'll I do now?"
By the time the Crapper returns - the LIBERALS will RULE the blog!""
Oh, is this what this blog is about? It's some extension of fucking Fox News or something?
Silly me, I thought it was about how GREEDY FUCKING PEOPLE OF EVERY POLITICAL STRIPE AND DENOMINATION are stripping the fine borough of Queens for anything worth a damn that's left in it. So please leave the liberal paranoia to the Michael Savage Weiners or Glenn Becks of the world.
Oh, and have a nice vacation Crappy, ya cranky old git!
I was joking stupid.
what the blog is about and what actually is discussed here are TWO entirely different things ain't it dummmo. . .
The thread could be about a rare bird sighting or something NON POLITICAL and SOMEONE right of center will inevitably scream about the Liberals and Hitler etc.
Could that someone be YOU per chance?
When do you return?
sad to see things will be slow here for a bit, but on the other hand, with out my daily dose of 5 to 10 stories that make me fill with rage, my blood pressure might improve a bit!

Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo
PS Anything you do is stupid whether it's joking or not!
I can't take it....COME BACK CRAPPY!!!!!
Have a great rest:) We Love You!!!!!
Alaska is a great place to vacation!
Liberals, Hitler, and rare bird sightings. Seems like a common thread to me.
For those of you who have nothing now to read with your AM cuppa joe:
www.aynrand.org
George,
WOW! I finally took you up on your advertisement and boy has it changed my life. The woman is vastly under appreciated! The typical person has no idea who she is let alone the depth and breadth of her philosophical system.
Thanks.
I have an inflated sense of self-importance and an extreme preoccupation with my own self.
I am good though at self-promotion, and thusly stupid people are attracted to me my "teachings".
Now that I am dead I feel obligated to come clean.
Thanks for plugging my book though.
See, the "typical" person as mentioned...
book?
Alaska is a great place to vacation!
Indeed it is, I've spent about 5 weeks there myself.
I just got back from ARIZONA yesterday, so take that LIBERALS!!!
Ar-a-zona Deke, don't you get Harpers? The place was PANNED.
Thought you would be warming your tootsies in the warm Atlantic, or taking in gallons of conifer tinged air in the Canadian Rockies, or even contemplating weighty things on the lakes?
But AZ in July?
How the mighty have fallen.
Folks, check it out for yourself.
Forget the effete snob's comments above.
I betcha the Crapper is right now rafting down the Colorado River.
www.arizonaguide.com
Have a good vacation. Come back less tolerant of some of your racist and homophobic followers!
Go suck a Ball...queer.
Why do you call Crappy bad names just because he goes on a little vaca?
Folks, check it out for yourself.
You don't have to convince me! Went to Flagstaff, the North Rim of the Canyon, Sedona.
I'll be back!
Come back less tolerant of some of your racist and homophobic followers!
This guy's probably an effete lefty who "tolerates" and "respects" Osama bin Laden, while Osama is sharpening his knives and preparing the chopping block.

Ok, yeah, dude, that makes a helluva lot of sense. So, people who are against racism and the constant homophobia from some miserable commenters on this board support Osama bin Laden. You're brilliant. What do you have? A PhD in crazy? Hey, isn't Hannity on yet?
Have a good vacation. Come back less tolerant of some of your racist and homophobic followers!
Oh you. I bet you think only white people hold racist views.
Those are the comments from the type of people who are actually shocked that the Staten Island hate crimes against Mexicans are being perpetrated by blacks.
while the real queens crappy takes a break, if you have not read "FLUSHED WITH PRIDE" by lawrence wright, do it now.
it is the story of thomas crapper.....
wright also wrote articles on al quaeda and john o'neil the counter-terrorist, in new yorker magazine.
Any bets on how many comments will be here when Crapper gets back?
Good point. Crapper needs to turn comment moderation off for this post. It would be fun to see how many responses we get by the time he comes back.
Hitler and Nazis!!!
Hitler was a fine dancer and loved animals.
Any bets on how many comments will be here when Crapper gets back?
No, but let's try not to trash this place too much, and make sure we return the kegs to the beverage center and pick up the beer bottles before he gets back.
I'm sure that Fem-Bot will find something offensive about "Jeff Spicoli".
I can't quite figure out what it is, but I'm sure he'll find something "racist" about it......
To grasp and deal with such concretes, a human being needs a certain degree of conceptual development, a process which the brain of an animal cannot perform. But after the initial feat of learning to speak, a child can counterfeit this process, by memorization and imitation. The anti-conceptual mentality stops on this level of development—on the first levels of abstractions, which identify perceptual material consisting predominantly of physical objects—and does not choose to take the next, crucial, fully volitional step: the higher levels of abstraction from abstractions, which cannot be learned by imitation.
No, but let's try not to trash this place too much, and make sure we return the kegs to the beverage center and pick up the beer bottles before he gets back.
TO-GA! TO-GA!
Have a good vacation. Come back less tolerant of some of your racist and homophobic followers!
ROAD TRIP! ROAD TRIP!
THIS THREAD MUST KEEP GOING WITH 10 COMMENTS PER DAY UNTIL THE CRAPSTER GETS OFF THE TERLET AND COMES BACK!

This is true. We need to keep the area clean for the next visitor. We need to set a good example.
Ah Gary, have an Iron City.
Its summer, and even the mods are on vacation.
*Burb*
While the cat's away, the mice, they play? Hhhmmm? Who shall we appoint as the classroom monitor?
How about co-monitors:
Week 1
George and Deke
then
Week 2
Gary and Babs
Then repeat rinse and wash as needed. Would say about 20 or postings a day?
Lets show 'em that ole NYC can putter along without 'em? Each day, the monitors can post a new topic!
here is a current post to start with: U.S DISTRICT JUDGE HENRY HUDSON REFUSED TO DISMISS VIRGINIA'S LAWSUIT AGAINST OBAMACARE.
The chief claim of Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli is that the mandate by obama to buy insurance violates the COMMERCE CLAUSE OF THE CONSTITUTION.
Judge Hudson does not seem to be a stooge for the White House.
The left wingers must be livid. the law is not in affect until 2014. he still might prevent the obama $500,000,000,000.00 cut in medicare benefits for senior citizens.
How about something on the Bloomgberg Ring or the Cult of Development?
Well, that's very [yawn] interesting.
Nazis and Hitler!
Well, that's very [yawn] interesting.
Why always attack the bum in DC when the real damage in my backyard is the prick in NYC?

Snore.
Question:
why do we accept the obvious negative impact on our lives with new development (more people do not add to my bank account) while services suck or go down hill because they are diverted to the Tower People and developers?
Probably because the clear indifference of the city administration and the local elected officials and community boards to these issues saps the strength of everyone else.
Question:
If we know that the clear indifference of the city administration and the local elected officials and community boards to these issues saps the strength of everyone else, why don't we spend our energy organizing instead of wasting our time tilting at windmills or going around in big lazy circles?
if you oppose the city liberal/rino's supporting the building of the islamic mosque two blocks from the bombed W.T.C. towers site, google or wikipedia : EL SAYYID NOSAIR
he was employed by n.y.c. as a a/c repairman and janitor for the criminal courts in downtown manhattan.
he was arrested for killing meir kahane and convicted of shooting a postal inspector.
later he was convicted of sedition for his involvement in the first W.T.C. bombing in 1993.
he admiited to making and throwing a coke can grenade at the gorbychev limo on park avenue. it was a dud.see :"the cell"by john miller
the commie lawyer convict lynne stewart was the blind sheihk's lawyer co-conspirator .
RE:"QUESTION" COMMENTER,
your idea is great. google TEA PARTY IN QUEENS COUNTY.
i went to two of these gatherings of patriots. great networking of similar views. no one cares about your political registration.
we must have our Constitution Rights followed.
if we wait till 2014 for the obama /liberal laws to begin ,it will be more difficult to rescind them.
What?
Take repsonsibility for government? Well hell, that is what we pay taxes for other people to do.

Who says you'll have the votes to rescind them in 2011, 2012, 2013, or 2014?
You first have to have enough votes. Even if you do, would you have the votes to overcome a Presidential veto?
Welcome to wingnut dreamworld.
Not just wingnuts here. But really uninformed, ignorant, intellectually lazy ones - which are the most dangerous kind.
if the American electorate makes an intelligent vote in 2012.rids the Nation of the "LEFT" in office now and the unappointed czars,we won't have to be concerned about a veto of unpopular obama law that will be rescinded.
How true.
"Uninformed", "ignorant", "intellectually lazy" are adjectives that can be equally applied to the effete, supercilious, pseudo-intellectual Left.
AYN RAND:
"At a sales conference at Random House, preceding the publication of Atlas Shrugged, one of the book salesmen asked me whether I could present the essence of my philosophy while standing on one foot. I did as follows:
Metaphysics: Objective Reality
Epistemology: Reason
Ethics: Self-interest
Politics: Capitalism
If you want this translated into simple language, it would read: 1. “Nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed” or “Wishing won’t make it so.” 2. “You can't eat your cake and have it, too.” 3. “Man is an end in himself.” 4. “Give me liberty or give me death.”
If you held these concepts with total consistency, as the base of your convictions, you would have a full philosophical system to guide the course of your life. But to hold them with total consistency—to understand, to define, to prove and to apply them—requires volumes of thought. Which is why philosophy cannot be discussed while standing on one foot—nor while standing on two feet on both sides of every fence. This last is the predominant philosophical position today, particularly in the field of politics.
My philosophy, Objectivism, holds that:
Reality exists as an objective absolute—facts are facts, independent of man’s feelings, wishes, hopes or fears.
Reason (the faculty which identifies and integrates the material provided by man’s senses) is man's only means of perceiving reality, his only source of knowledge, his only guide to action, and his basic means of survival.
Man—every man—is an end in himself, not the means to the ends of others. He must exist for his own sake, neither sacrificing himself to others nor sacrificing others to himself. The pursuit of his own rational self-interest and of his own happiness is the highest moral purpose of his life.
The ideal political-economic system is laissez-faire capitalism. It is a system where men deal with one another, not as victims and executioners, nor as masters and slaves, but as traders, by free, voluntary exchange to mutual benefit. It is a system where no man may obtain any values from others by resorting to physical force, and no man may initiate the use of physical force against others. The government acts only as a policeman that protects man’s rights; it uses physical force only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use, such as criminals or foreign invaders. In a system of full capitalism, there should be (but, historically, has not yet been) a complete separation of state and economics, in the same way and for the same reasons as the separation of state and church."
-The Objectivist Newsletter, Aug. 1962, 35.
The Lefty: I WANT MY HEALTH CARE!!! I DON'T CARE HOW YOU DO IT!!! I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANY CONSEQUENCES!!! AND I WANT IT FOR F-R-E-E!!!
Watch your pinko asses. The votes are coming.

You mean the "Czars" started with Obama? You mean Reagan, Bush, and Bush didn't have them?
You mean that you're going to have a veto-proof congress next year? Do you really believe that?
I used to think that Norman Mailer was the most overrated author of the last century, if not of all time. More and more, I realize that Ayn Rand has him beat by a mile.
Anyone who quotes Ayn Rand with anything other than risible derision is automatically a wackjob and deserves only to be ignored and pitied.
www.aynrand.org
Thinking is not an automatic function. In any hour and issue of his life, man is free to think or to evade that effort. Thinking requires a state of full, focused awareness. The act of focusing one’s consciousness is volitional.
Thinking is a delicate, difficult process, which man cannot perform unless knowledge is his goal, logic is his method, and the judgment of his mind is his guiding absolute. Thought requires selfishness, the fundamental selfishness of a rational faculty that places nothing above the integrity of its own function.
A man cannot think if he places something—anything—above his perception of reality. He cannot follow the evidence unswervingly or uphold his conclusions intransigently, while regarding compliance with other men as his moral imperative, self-abasement as his highest virtue, and sacrifice as his primary duty. He cannot use his brain while surrendering his sovereignty over it, i.e., while accepting his neighbors as its owner and term-setter.
People often instinctively mock (or are risible) to that which they cannot comprehend...
New tyrannies have sprung up, like so many new plagues and have engrossed the whole earth rendering the world a slaughterhouse. Everywhere are scenes of tyranny, barbarity, confusion, and all forms of violence.
Even in America, where human nature and society have supposedly arrived at the highest improvements...where can we find a well constituted government or a well governed people?
Author Flannery O'Connor wrote in a letter to a friend that "The fiction of Ayn Rand is as low as you can get re fiction. I hope you picked it up off the floor of the subway and threw it in the nearest garbage pail. She makes Mickey Spillane look like Dostoevsky."
How true.
Flannery O'Connor, a Roman Catholic mystic, couldn't take the Objectivist Weltanschauung. Whadya expect?
